Story
Meet Strawberry Rhubarb! Rhubarb is a 1-and-a-half-year-old mixed breed weighing in at 52 pounds. She’s spayed, medically up-to-date, and ready to be your new best friend and adventuring pal. Rhubarb is sweet and energetic. She loves people and will run up to you looking for pets. Rhubarb’s also playful and energetic and would thrive in a home with a big yard or one where she gets plenty of walks and adventures. Rhubarb has met and likes older kids (9+). We’re not sure yet how she feels about very young children or cats. Rhubarb is dog selective, meaning she will only get along with specific dogs, or prefer to be an only dog. She’d do fine walking past other dogs or co-existing at gatherings, but she doesn’t want to be friends with every dog she meets. Because of this, we would highly recommend potential adopters bring any other dogs from the household to the meet-and-greet in order to test compatibility. Come meet Strawberry Rhubarb today! Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $300+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.

Story
This stunning 2-year-old Shepherd mix is a total heart-stealer. At 64.8 pounds, she's spayed, fully up to date on medical care, and ready for forever. She lives for belly rubs, leans in for affection, and will be your most devoted shadow. Coco has energy to burn and needs an active person or family who can help her get those zoomies out — long walks, hikes, fetch, you name it. She's smart and thrives with structure and manners training, so someone with dog experience who can be consistent will bring out the best in her. Because of her size and enthusiasm, she'd do best with older or dog-savvy kids. Coco has met other dogs while in shelter. A meet-and-greet would be highly recommended to test compatibility between her and other dogs in a home. We’re not sure yet how Coco feels about cats. If you're ready for an active, affectionate companion who will be your best friend, come meet Coco Chanel.

Story
Some dogs light up a room the moment they walk in. Glowy Chloe is a little different—she'll light up your world once she knows she can trust you. This beautiful 5-year-old Shepherd mix likes to take her time meeting new people. She can be a little standoffish at first, preferring to watch from a comfortable distance while she decides if you're part of her circle. But give her a little patience, a kind voice, and the chance to get to know you, and you'll discover a wonderfully loyal, affectionate companion who loves being with her people. Once Glowy Chloe's heart is yours, she'll happily show off her "sit" and "shake" skills, soak up attention, and remind you that the very best friendships are the ones that take a little time to grow. She has lived in a home with children before and knows what it means to be part of a family. Now she's hoping to find that feeling again—a home where she can truly shine. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter.

Story
Paboo is a handsome sable German Shepherd with a striking blend of black and warm brown in his coat and a solid, confident presence to match his 71-pound frame. He’s the kind of dog who turns heads on walks—not just for his looks, but for the happy, purposeful way he trots along at your side. Walks are one of Paboo’s absolute favorite things. Whether it’s a quick stroll around the block or a longer adventure, he’s always ready to go and loves having a job to do. Paboo already knows how to sit, showing off his smarts and willingness to learn. Like many German Shepherds, he thrives on connection, routine, and having something to focus on, making him a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys engaging with their dog both physically and mentally. With his loyal nature and eagerness to be by your side, Paboo is ready to be someone’s devoted partner in both everyday moments and outdoor adventures.

Story
This beautiful 5 year old Border Collie is ready to find her furrever home! Stella is spayed, fully up to date on her vet care, and weighs in at a solid 61 pounds of pure love. She's spent her life as an in-and-out farm dog, so she's got that perfect mix of easygoing indoor manners and a love for the outdoors. She's potty trained, gentle as can be on a leash, and has the kind of calm, sweet energy that makes every walk feel like a stroll in the countryside. Stella is the ultimate family dog: She has lived alongside chickens, horses, and cows without batting an eye, and she's fantastic with kids. Whether it's a little one learning to throw a ball or a toddler toddling around the yard, Stella is patient and gentle. She also gets along with other dogs, so if you've already got a four-legged friend at home, that's no problem for Stella. (Cats are the one big question mark, we are unsure if she's been around them, so a slow, careful introduction would be the way to go if you've got a feline family member.) Stella is ready to go home today and she's bringing nothing but good vibes, a wiggly tail, and a lifetime of loyal snuggles. If you're looking for a sweet, smart, farm-tested girl who's just as happy curling up inside as she is exploring the great outdoors, come meet Stella...she's been waiting for you! 🐾 Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter.
